Modular evolution of secretion systems and virulence plasmids in a bacterial species complex

Modular evolution of secretion systems and virulence plasmids in a bacterial species complex

Abstract Background Many named species as defined in current bacterial taxonomy correspond to species complexes. Uncertainties regarding the organization of their genetic diversity challenge research efforts. We utilized the Agrobacterium tumefaciens species complex (a.k.a. Agrobacterium biovar 1),...
